Coin Collection

Posted in Uncategorized on December 27, 2006 by tazzy

What kinda hobby would coin collection be? You go around the world spend millions of money and what u bring back home? A coin from the other countries. Or u better know someone who travels around the world and wait for him to return so that can ask him to give a little coin but by the time he’ll return you would have forgotten to get that little piece of money from him…LOL. Sounds really weird n dumb. Just think of it COIN COLLECTION haha…really weird collecting pieces of metal which u just wanna keep so that u can show it to your grandchildren. Hilarious. And coin ‘collection’ would mean you better collect them and put all the variety of currencies in a box or somewhere. Now tell me why would somebody like to occupy a box with hardly one coin being dropped in it in say two years.

Coin collection is known as the hobby of ‘KINGS’. Since we don’t have any kings nowadays or anyone equal to KING’s status so why is this hobby still counted as a hobby. Rather coin collection could be a means of investment like you buy the coins and sell them when there value goes up but that too how much could a coin earn you. you would rather buy currency in larger denomination which would come in paper money.

I have some US coins and had a few australian, singaporian and hong kongian coins but that won’t and shouldn’t and wouldn’t be counted as coin collection. Like this fellow King Farouk of Egypt did collect coins but he had the habit of collecting everything – and then we blame the old people for hoarding hell lotta stuff in the attic.

Hope i made sense of everything. Merry X-Mas!

Complexity

Sometimes there is a combination of a number of different things that make u go back a few years in your past and recall what happened there, it can be something funny,sad,depressing or even an everyday event. These things don’t have any individual importance when viewed at a different time by the same person or the same time by a different person. There is this particular frequency which these different things – when mixed together – match with our brain and make us reflect upon a particular event from the past.

Well thats all i had to share for now. Guess this would be my first shortest blog.

NADRA and The CNIC

Posted in Uncategorized on December 19, 2006 by tazzy

Finally i turned 18 on Sunday and since i was busy on Monday i went on Tuesday for my Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC) registration. I had no idea what the whole thing would look like and the whole thing turned out pretty well. I left my place at around 0945 took the bus to the NADRA Swift Registration Center (NSRC) and was there in some 5 to 10 minutes. Went to the window, told the guy there that i wanna get my CNIC made. He asked me to show the B-form and gave a receipt. I went in waited for like hardly 5 minutes and was called on the counter where i gave her my signature and made my telephone number\’s entry and also got my address confirmed. Then i was redirected to the other portion of the room where the camera man was waiting he took my snap and redirected me to another portion of the room where i gave my finger and thumb prints and went to the last person to collect the form which had already been filled.
I went to the mayor\’s office but he wasn\’t on his seat so i went to this other guy – who i later found was some minority mayor – and asked him for the mayor. He didn\’t know about the mayor but he did ask me what i need him for. When i told him i need this form attested he offered himself to attest it which i gladly did and i left the office with a kind thanks.
I went back home it was 1015 got the telephone,electricity and gas bills – which were required to be presented at the time of submitting the form. On the way back to NSRC i planned to take a lift from some motorcyclist and save my five rupees but eventually i had to opt for the bus. Anyhow, i reached the office gave in the form and got a receipt which said that my CNIC would be ready in 25 to 30 days.

Its 1 day now 24 days to go…
